The Quiet Reckoning in Private Credit

■ The Firm

For six decades we have practised a single discipline: weighing what matters, and acting before it is decided for you.

Sterling & Vance was founded in New York in 1962 and opened in London in 1988. We remain deliberately small, partner-led and free of the conflicts that come with scale.
